--------W-2F1605----------------------------- INT 2F - MS Windows - WINDOWS ENHANCED MODE & 286 DOSX INIT BROADCAST AX = 1605h ES:BX = 0000h:0000h DS:SI = 0000h:0000h CX = 0000h DX = flags bit 0 = 0 if Windows enhanced-mode initialization bit 0 = 1 if Microsoft 286 DOS extender initialization bits 1-15 reserved (undefined) DI = version number (major in upper byte, minor in lower) Return: CX = 0000h if okay for Windows to load CX = FFFFh (other registers unchanged) if Windows 3.0 in standard mode CX <> 0 if Windows should not load ES:BX -> startup info structure (see #1410) DS:SI -> virtual86 mode enable/disable callback or 0000h:0000h (see #1413) Notes: the Windows enhanced mode loader and Microsoft 286 DOS extender will broadcast an INT 2F/AX=1605h call when initializing. Any DOS device driver or TSR can watch for this broadcast and return the appropriate values. If the driver or TSR returns CX <> 0, it is also its responsibility to display an error message. each handler must first chain to the prior INT 2F handler with registers unchanged before processing the call if the handler requires local data on a per-VM basis, it must store the returned ES:BX in the "next" field of a startup info structure and return a pointer to that structure in ES:BX a single TSR may set the V86 mode enable/disable callback; if DS:SI is already nonzero, the TSR must fail the initialization by setting CX nonzero MSD checks for Windows 3.0 running in standard mode by testing whether CX=FFFFh and other registers are unchanged on return Novell DOS v7.0 (Update 8 - Update 11) TASKMGR in multitasking mode uses this broadcast, even if TASKMGR.INI sets WinPresent= to OFF Micrsoft's EMM386.EXE for DOS 5+ when installed with the NOEMS option changes its driver name from EMMQXXX0 to EMMXXXX0 while Windows is active SeeAlso: AX=1606h,AX=1608h,AX=4B05h Format of Windows Startup Information Structure: Offset Size Description (Table 1410) 00h 2 BYTEs major, minor version of info structure 02h DWORD pointer to next startup info structure or 0000h:0000h 06h DWORD pointer to ASCIZ name of virtual device file or 0000h:0000h 0Ah DWORD virtual device reference data (see #1412) (only used if above nonzero) 0Eh DWORD pointer to instance data records (see #1411) or 0000h:0000h Format of one Instance Item in array: Offset Size Description (Table 1411) 00h DWORD address of instance data (end of array if 0000h:0000h) 04h WORD size of instance data Format of Virtual Device Reference Data: Offset Size Description (Table 1412) 00h DWORD physical address of ??? or 00000000h 04h DWORD physical address of ??? table 08h DWORD "DEST_PAGE" address to which pages must be mapped 0Ch N DWORDs "SRC_PAGE" physical addresses of the pages 00000000h = end of table Note: EMM386.EXE sets the first pointer to the start of the device driver chain, the second pointer to a field of 40h bytes followed by a 16-bit offset to the end of the SRC_PAGE table, and DEST_PAGE to the start segment of the UMB area (Table 1413) Values Windows virtual mode enable/disable procedure is called with: AX = 0000h disable V86 mode AX = 0001h enable V86 mode interrupts disabled Return: CF set on error CF clear if successful interrupts disabled --------W-2F1606----------------------------- INT 2F - MS Windows - WINDOWS ENHANCED MODE & 286 DOSX EXIT BROADCAST AX = 1606h DX = flags bit 0 = 0 if Windows enhanced-mode exit bit 0 = 1 if Microsoft 286 DOS extender exit bits 1-15 reserved (undefined) Notes: if the init broadcast fails (AX=1605h returned CX <> 0), then this broadcast will be issued immediately. this call will be issued in real mode Novell DOS v7.0 (Update 8 - Update 10) TASKMGR in multitasking mode uses this broadcast, even if TASKMGR.INI sets WinPresent= to OFF SeeAlso: AX=1605h,AX=1609h
